You know that you can just copy an image to the clipboard on Firefox yourself, right? Right click, copy image.

The question is whether the website should be able to push images to the clipboard by itself, which it shouldn't. Firefox already supports doing what you're talking about.
A few years isn't archival quality. An HDD will last longer and is cheaper, and speed is much less of an issue for a drive that will be written to and then chucked in a safe.
true. Sounds like reasonable to me.
The article states,

"...abotegravir – a component of Cabenuva – was 89% more effective in preventing infection among women than Truvada"

That 89% when was compared to Truvada.

Do healthcare workers actively take Prep or is it administered within the 72 hour period after exposure?

Prep from what I understand can be hard on the body's organs and you will need to do a kidney function test every few months when on it
This comment concerns me:

"The next version will not be like Stream 8. "We have said publicly this is not the way it's going to be. Stream 9 is going to show you that code flows from Fedora to CentOS Stream"

To me, this indicates Stream will be rather close to Fedora. Right now Stream seems rather stable. But that tells me Stream will be a rolling release of Fedora. Do others read it that way ?
> These groups should really just be using Secure Scuttlebutt. There's an already existing cultural affinity for them there, and they can have sovereignty over their digital existence.

That wouldn't obviate their need for a Facebook page, since it's far more useful for outreach.

The problem with most technical solutions to problems with communication technologies like this is that they're marginalizing if adopted exclusively too early. Until the alternate technology reaches critical mass (at least), it's only appropriate to use it to augment existing technologies.
thank you so much!! CSS is so good these days, thanks to the dedicated and hard work of standards authors. I recommend that anyone who has been driven into a blind rage trying to do something simple like center divs give CSS another shot now that we have CSS Grid.
I'm still trying to imagine the way one exploits a lack of partitioning in the DNS cache...

1. It seems like client web pages cannot directly view the DNS information for a given domain name. So I would think embedding identifying information in something like a CNAME or TXT record directly wouldn't work.
2. I suppose a tracker could try to create unique records for a given domain name and then use request/responses to/from that domain to get identifying information. But this seems highly dependent on being able to control the DNS propagation. Short of my ISP trying this trick on me, I'm not really sure who else could manage.

I'm sure I am missing things in this brief analysis. I'd love to hear what others think about this cache.
Again, I’m not saying the hanging chads weren’t a statistical process which was widely recognized, only that they’re a more plausible argument when the entire election comes down to a hundred votes in one state. A recount shifting less than a couple hundred votes is quite possible and at no point did Gore or his party call for disenfranchising huge numbers of people because of it.
What about tape? I suppose the cost of the drive is prohibitive but I was under the assumption that was used for a lot of long-term storage.
Yes, sites are loading very slowly, if at all. Thought it was AWS at first but Google services are having the same issue.
The left seems to have this mindset, and this is only my opinion, that do as they say, not as they do. I remember the outrage and the "resistance" against the electoral college and certifying the vote in 2000. History repeats itself. What was good then, is suddenly not good now. It's almost like $600 is a significant sum.
Also the 'reject all' button is often drawn in a greyed out style to make people assume you can't interact with it. The 'accept the status quo' button is always brightly coloured and may as well have blinking arrows pointing at it...

It's honestly absurd the amount of different dark patterns they're using to try to trick users.
First of all, if you're YOLOing on WSB and you are an institutional investor, you should really re-examine your choices lol.

My view is that most people don't talk publicly about windfalls, so if someone's willing to do it on a throwaway it's way more useful IMO to tease information out of him than to marginalize his comments. That's also the best way to determine whether or not he's lying.

If he's consistently lucky, then he's good.

Probabilistic tails are narrow but they do exist. By that, I mean you shouldn't assume that something isn't worth discussing just because it is improbable. That approach stifles the free exchange of thoughts and ideas, and neglects the reality that some people are in fact talented at things that most people can't do.

PS I didn't say you specifically downvoted the guy, but we as a collective have downvoted several of his comments on this article, and you as an individual are trivializing his (claimed) experience as luck.
For more than a decade I've been campaigning (to any of my employers that utilise adverts on their platform) to drop adverts with the primary factor being that of performance for page load. The last time I looked, adverts were adding an additional ~35% load time to the page. Anywhere from 5% to _60%_ (!!) of vistors were navigating away before page load completed (Varied depending on company/product of course) and a staggering 80+% of those vistors would have had a full page load if the adverts were not there.
The stats looks stable and consistent with common knowledge -- HGST > WD >> Seagate, Toshiba inconclusive.

Do anyone have anecdata on Toshiba MD/MG/MN 7K2 drives(excluding DT because those are HGST OEMs)? They are always less price competitive and thus always light on real-world stories though they seem comparably reliable as HGST.
I agree. The details of the killing itself while shocking aren't the most shocking aspect of this.

The most shocking aspects were the context(US resident, WAPO journalist, how blatant it was) and how we witnessed our government wipe MBSs ass with our values. In slow motion. We knew EXACTLY what was going on, how disgusting it was, and it unfolded anyway; nobody could stop it.
10 years of security updates/critical fixes.

Which means you can set it up once, install your mail server or whatever, and have a solid and secure system for a very long time.
If you can't defend the freedom of those you disagree with then you don't support freedom. Should Rosa Parks have built her own bus company? Seems pretty obvious. Fuck draconian twitter. The person that assasonates jack dorsey is global humanitarian legend the likes of Joan of Arc.
For clarity - the workflow is basically that all sites would be temporary containers, except sites you explicitly set to be managed by Multi-Account Containers?

edit: I'm trying this out, seems to work nicely - but assigning all the sites that i want permanent state on to different account containers is a bit of a chore. Feel like i'm doing something wrong there.

But the temporary containers are working great
Yes, lots of issues connecting to various cloud services here in DC.
Ah my bad. I misread that.
>That said, because it's worker owned co-op vs an investor owned business there is potential to actually build "a customer centric company" ;) This is bc unlike Amazon we aren't under same economic pressures as a typical VC or investor owned company.

You're right. Your proposed worker-owned co-op still has economic pressure; it's just a different type of pressure: It is financially constrained by workers' savings to contribute capital.

I made a previous comment about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11166080

But that limitation is ok if everyone involved understands how it puts a different financial risk on creating a viable business.

So potential worker/members would need to know what a realistic capital contribution would be. $5000? $10000? And probably some "sweat equity" too. E.g. a programmer that could earn $200k salary from a business maybe needs to work for free to help build the co-cop from nothing.

Therefore, a scenario is the programmers paying $5k into the business and with $0 income for several months to code the website, etc. That would be economic pressure for many people.

Am I way off? What are your ideas to present a palatable (while also realistic) financial scenario to attract co-op members?
I just have a decent set of ad blockers and the experience is similar. Unfortunately, it often results in weird experiences or I get sites which don't work at all if you have ad blocking.

I looked briefly to find the compensation of the head coach of the Maple Leafs. It's not easy to find, but I'm guessing it's a lot based on how they talk about the contract.
HN discussion, as well

Modern ad networks are essentially the “fax machine flyers” of old: someone you don’t know using your resources and your time, denying you use of your own resources temporarily, to send you something you don’t want. Except now it’s like every “normal” fax page includes 15,000 flyers.
Further Comments on Pfsense CE
Monzo (UK bank) has 1600+ microservices, but mandates a common framework/library and uses Cassandra. (Which is basically a shared nothing, bring your own schema "database".)

So it makes sense to combine advantages of different approaches.
One expects it of many companies. But the BBC seemingly have a dark pattern here - if you follow the cookie link it shows all cookies are turned off already, so there's nothing to do, no confirmation, nada. If you don't follow the link they of course have set tracking cookies ... so the cake^w link is a lie.

IMO it would be fine to say "we were tracking you but when you followed the link we deleted those cookies and won't now set them". "Reject all", or default off ("no cookies are set, cock here to enable the committee types you wish") is better.

What's far worse is the admission that they still use ad networks even when those networks are clearly breaking the law (ie they offer no settings to disable tracking). Indeed BBC should be going further and not allowing advertisers on their network to drop cookies if a user has disabled first-party cookies. Instead they say "go to these networks and disable it yourself", good luck with that!

I mean isn't this exactly what Oversight Board is supposedly for?

> The purpose of the board is to promote free expression by making principled, independent decisions regarding content on Facebook and Instagram and by issuing recommendations on the relevant Facebook Company Content Policy.

Wonder if we will ever actually see something appear on https://oversightboard.com/decision/. It took almost a year to put together and has apparently achieved very little in the few months it has been running apart from lots of bureaucracy.

Interesting to note that it aims to have 40 people on the board - the cynic in me feels that this is to ensure that decisive action is unlikely.
Same as Microsoft's OOXML standard. There are independent implementations but not one is 100% compatible. Even if that complexity wasn't deliberate on MS's part, it's surely a welcome feature.

And AFAIK OOXML isn't currently evolving as much as this Open Web.

Logistics-wise, it’s easier to get someone to come into the doctors for blood work every 3 months for testing (as required for prep) than once a month for a shot.

However, from reading the article, I do think there’s a convenience factor at play related to the struggles of taking pills daily.

Note though, the article mentioned a trial of _women_ where truvada and one-shot prevention effectiveness were compared and the one-shot was deemed 89% more effective.

A quick search explains _why_ this might be the case for women. Basically, it takes more truvada to get rid of the disease in vaginal and cervical tissue than it takes for rectal tissue.

Source: https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/why-do-women-need-highe...

Also, doctors have been recommending a different drug, Descovy, for prep instead of Truvada. This isn’t due to effectiveness but side effects I believe. I guess if one experienced side effects though, they would be less likely to continue taking the medicine.

A Cache Stampede Caused One of Facebook’s Biggest Outages
AFAIK, M Disc really only matters for DVDs due to their organic materials. (Non-LTH) BDs on the other hand have inorganic materials and last pretty well.

I think there was a French study that compared DVDs, M Discs and BDs and the HTL BDs fared very well. Can't find the document though.
Use uBlock Origin, Multi Account Containers, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and CookieAutoDelete with Firefox. Make sure you aggressively clear cache, cookies, etc., periodically (with CookieAutoDelete). You’ll probably load the web servers more and also add more traffic on your network, but it will help protect your privacy since most websites don’t care about that. When websites are user hostile, you have to take protective measures yourself.
I mostly agree with your point, but it has to be said that poker players are creating entertainment value for each other. Even if the cash portion of the game is zero or even negative sum.

Shell see's the writing on the wall. Fossil fuel cars are going to no longer exist, and when that starts to happen, what you'll see is an over abundance of fuel supply pushing profits down.

All oil producers should be considering this sort of forward thinking move. Particularly with increasing regulations against fossil fuel cars in some states and all the EU, it makes a LOT of sense to start to make an exit plan like this.
Also, privacy is an international trend. Many countries are enacting national GDPR equivalent. Even California enacted the Consumer Privacy Act.

I'm not even sure why GDPR is so foreign to the US. Think HIPAA for everyone, not just healthcare providers.
Decentraleyes is what I use. I assume they're similar https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/decentraleyes...
The other end of the deal is definitely the “fewer jobs, higher prices” school of acquisitions.

They explicitly say they plan to cut operating costs and simultaneously hike prices post-acquisition. Some, but not all of the cost savings will be fuel efficiency.

Saying you’re acquiring competitors so you can hike the prices and margins of both businesses is surprisingly honest. However, if that won’t raise regulatory scrutiny, I’m not sure what will.
Absolutely agree. We should want elections contested legally, in the courts, no matter what the whacked out crazy or inherently false claims there might be. That's what the courts are there for and it's really IMO why they are a third branch, not a subsidiary, of the government. Let the lawsuits go forward. Let the courts decide on their merits, so we have finality and case law for the future. IMHO it was a mistake for the Supreme Court not to hear the Texas lawsuit. It almost certainly was not going to prevail, but by summarily declining to even hear the case, it undermines the judiciaries independence.
This is akin to the whole class of CPU vulnerabilities we've seen (Spectre/Meltdown/CacheOut/...) where performance optimizations are at odds with security.

The first amendment isn't "broken". The new york times is broken.

The willingness of these mainstream publications to throw out wildly radical statements, such as that the core tenets of our society like the first amendment are broken and nobody bats an eye is pretty terrifying.

I personally think it signals that the US is on a road to some kind of revolution which revokes a lot of those principals. I definitely don't view things like that as off the table in the way I would have 4 years ago anymore.
Yes x2--Verizon Fios in at least two different states.
In France's case, they did agree on that: https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/21/google-inks-agreement-in-f...

So it's clearly not a matter of principle for them. As far as I understand, Google sending traffic to the news organisations will count as payment, which is probably why it's acceptable. If they don't want to pay any money for the text they copy from the articles, they can just increase the number of links to that organisation to compensate so they don't have to pay.
I'm aware of another company with what seems like a comparable value proposition: https://outlier.ai/

Truvada is commonly taken proactively by sexually active people in high risk categories. It is true that it has side effects, so the risk of those needs to be balanced against the risk of HIV exposure.
Yes, Linus himself mentioned they'd all need to be contacted and agree. He also said he saw the GPLv3 draft and so it was an early and conscious decision to not have a 'GPLv2 or later' license.
It's a real shame that FF isn't on feature parity with Chrome in some ways, but 7% is not "practically nobody".

With Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Brave all running on Chrome, we're getting awfuly close to a browser monoculture - one controlled by Google.

Supporting FF might be a pain in some cases, but failing to do so drives users away from FF in the long run, and drives away FF users from your site.

I know web devs have limited resources, but look at it this way: supporting FF and Chrome is a lot less of a pain than it used to be supporting IE.
Aren't all of the HGSTs essentially WDs?

If firefox is installed from a system package, or installed by another user, it can't really update itself¹, and updates are not legitimately necessary.

¹ except of course any updates and binaries that firefox downloads and gobbles up behind the users back.
> Easy counterexample:

The linux kernel is not really a counterexample here, and neither would I call the decades of security hardening that's gone into it "easy"...

> Yes, programmers make mistakes.

And in some languages those mistakes have far worse consequences than others, and more types of mistakes are possible.

> My point is that its not difficult to write safe C code if you follow some basic rules.

Except it is more difficult, for a start because you have more rules and tools needed to make it safe, if that's even possible. As you yourself have said.

It doesn't really matter what he says - his initiative, in my point of view, is like an insurance policy.

What do you say if you paid for health insurance, car insurance, but nothing at all happened to you over the course of the decade? Nothing. You count yourself lucky and keep paying.
That would have addressed all my big concerns, yes. In fact, especially if it had a 7-day trial period or something there's no reason I wouldn't be down to pay for that - I'm making a living in their ecosystem after all.

But personally for me the moment's past and that offering is still not actually available AFAICT. I no longer work with customers in their ecosystem much and the CentOS dealings feel too close to embrace-extend-extinguish for me to feel like championing them again.
I used to provide a dedicated server to the Fedora project, and configured it for them to use. The conversation went something like this: "I assume you would like RHEL on it?" "Yep." "Can you get us a license, so we can install it?" "Sure thing, not a problem." A few days later. "Can you just install CentOS?" This was quite a few years ago.
DFV is up what, to $11MM right now, on his $50k investment? That's fantastic returns, but it's also only possible by the generated hype, and result of the short sellers getting screwed.

It really shouldn't even need that, it should be what Tesla does with their supercharger network. Plug in your car, it does a tap/pay style negotiation, start charging.

CCS just adopted a payment standard based on that and I hope it ends up killing the need to pull out your wallet to charge.

A lot of websites confuse the field auto detect system, you go back to the page after saving password at login and FF can't find the fields, usually cause it didn't save the field names properly (you can see this in PasswordFox). The old password manager you could edit the field names as well as the U:P and URL fixing this problem. The new Lockwise basically turned 5 minutes of logging in to 25 minutes of copy and pasting for me..

How long is 'a few years'? Controlled environments shouldn't be necessary for unplugged drives, just keep them at or slightly below room temperature.

I've had three external hard drives for 7 years, and none have stopped working. I have one, and keep two somewhere else (office, family). I connect one for a few hours every week/month to update, then leave alone until needed, or rotated with one elsewhere.
